5) i. Germany: UH Tiger
The UHT (Unterstützungshubschrauber Tiger) is a medium-weight multi-role fire support helicopter built for the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces). The UHT can carry PARS 3 LR “fire and forget” and/or HOT3 anti-tank missiles, as well as Forges de Zeebrugge’s 70 mm (2.8 in) Hydra 70 air-to-ground fire support rockets. For air-to-air combat, four AIM-92 Stinger missiles (two on each side) are equipped. It does not have an integrated gun turret like the HAP/HCP variant, but a 12.7 mm (0.50 in) gunpod can be added if required. The armament configuration was created to be multirole and easily convertible, allowing it to cover a wide range of mission scenarios while also being effective against a variety of targets.
